Cincinnati Chili Dogs
My in-laws are from Ohio, so we have Cincinnati chili at many of our family gatherings. I spiced up this family classic with cinnamon and cocoa powder and ladled it over hot dogs. It's perfect for game day, tailgates and potlucks. —Jennifer Gilbert, Brighton, Michigan

So nice recepie https://survivingspirits.com/health-write-for-us/
I am TOTALLY disappointed in TOH..............not only the buckeye recipe, but as I scrolled down the OHIO recipes, so many others are from non Ohioans. And I find the Cincinnati chili dogs recipe is from a person who lives in the state up north!!! REAAAAAAAALLLY ?????
W-a-a-y too scant on the seasonings. Measuring in quarter- and half-teaspoons? No wonder it's bland. And where's the allspice? Too tomato-y for Cincy chili. And I KNOW Cincy chili.
At first my husband and I were disappointed in these. For some reason, this came out pretty bland and tasteless. It needed something that I can't quite put my finger on. We could taste the cocoa and cinnamon but it didn't add much to the chili. I let the leftovers cook a little longer and I also let them marinade in the fridge for a day. The next day I tried it again and it was a LOT better. Still not amazing, in my opinion, but much better than before. I'm not sure if I'd make this again, I think there are other chili recipes I like out there more, but this was still pretty good.
We made these as a special treat for the opening of the baseball season and they were a big hit! I followed the recipe as written......made the whole amount of chili using only five hot dogs, thinking we could use the rest for five-way chili the next day, but there was none left! Will definitely make again, and wouldn't change anything.
A great twist on the usual chili dog! My family really enjoyed this recipe. The addition of cinnamon and cocoa powder gave this dish an incredible flavor. I didn't even miss the spiciness of our normal chili recipe! (It's mild enough for kids who may not like some traditional chili recipes.) It comes together quickly with on-hand ingredients. I made it on the stove top instead of the crock pot and it worked beautifully. Two thumbs up!
Very good chili dogs!! I added extra chili powder and some cayenne to give it an extra kick!!
